Sweetie 19895/8/2023 ![]() …” Kay has been in fear of trees, her nightmares and she even uprooted planted trees. “A context for this patterning is provided by a leitmotif that recurs throughout the film: trees, including their power to affect people’s life The symbolic connotations inherent in his metaphor are evident in kay’s voice- over as the film begins. Kay’s fear of the cracks is from the fear of tree roots. When the tree was growing up, the surroundings were all affected, even devastated. The film has a shot when Kay gingerly walked on the cracked ground, every step she takes has to be in the cracks, because the cracks have an unbroken relationship with tree roots, after which a black and white scene appears in her dream. It was built for my sister and it had fairy lights that went on and off …” (Living in the Shadow of the Family Tree) Because Kay’s parents love Sweetie more than her, this led to the eccentric character of Kay. “We has a tree in our yard with a palace in the branches. Her psychological problem can be blamed on childhood memories. ![]() Kay is trying to escape from her family because of her strange sister and the lonely feeling when father is only doting her sister. Even with branches growing in different directions of development, these branches are always shared with one root, like a family is always a family. We often use a tree to represent one family, everyone is part of the family, that each branches are a part of the tree. “Tree” is a series of clues to the whole movie. ![]() The opening is the personal inner thoughts. There was also a scene when she was sitting on the steps alone in the very right corner, giving a feeling that she is a loner. A kind of aloof emotion can be read from her eyes. There was a shot at the beginning when the camera slowly enlarged her face, the entire frame focussed on her eyes. She doesn’t have that many facial expressions. One of the protagonists Kay appeared in the lens at the beginning. The film gives a feeling of oppression, even dark humor.
